On an island in the middle of the world’s largest ocean, a symbolic tragedy is taking place: tens of thousands of albatrosses are dying, with their stomachs filled with plastic. Jordan will take us on a journey to Midway.
Chris Jordan
Photographic artist Chris Jordan, born 1963 in San Francisco, creates bold tableaux to illuminate and question contemporary mass culture. His Intolerable Beauty: Portraits of American Mass Consumption (2003–2005) focused on the detritus of consumer society; while his Running
the Numbers: An American Self-Portrait (2006) claimed worldwide attention for its pointed material visualizations of alarming but otherwise abstract statistics. He received the 2010 Ansel Adams Award for Excellence in Conservation Photography.
